Create an API proxy

The hybrid UI provides an API Proxy Wizard that walks you through the steps to create a new API proxy. This section describes how to create a simple proxy that has minimal functionality. It serves to get you up and running quickly.

To create a simple API proxy using the API Proxy Wizard:

  1. Open Apigee hybrid UI in a browser.
  2. Click API Proxies in the main view.


  4. Click +Proxy in the upper right.

    The Create Proxy wizard starts.

  5. Click Reverse proxy (most common).

    The Proxy details page is displayed.

  6. Configure your proxy with the following settings:
    • Name: Enter "getstarted". If a proxy already exists with this name, choose a different name.
    • Base Path: Leave this set to "/getstarted". The Base Path is part of the URL used to make requests to your API. Edge uses the URL to match and route incoming requests to the proper API proxy.
    • Description (Optional): Enter a description for your new API proxy, such as "Get started API proxy".

    Your API proxy's details should look like the following:

  7. Click Next.

    Your new API proxy is created and deployed in the selected environment.
